Answer 1

Answer:

3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

no. of saplings = 4

gap between two saplings = 3/4 m

total distance between first and last sapling = 3/4*4 = 3 m

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You should make a drawing. From sapling # 1 to # 2, it's a distance 3/4 m.

From #2 to # 3 it's 3/4 m; from #3 to # 4 it's 3/4 m.

Total of these three distances is 3 times 3/4 m; 9/4 m = 2¼ m.
